INVESTING IN YOUR HOME When you think about it, your new windows will begin paying for themselves from the day they re installed. You can expect a decrease in your annual fuel consumption for heating and cooling your home. In addition, easy-care vinyl windows will not require costly annual upkeep, and will enhance the curb appeal of your home and its resale value. In most cases, you can expect to recover more than half of the cost of your replacement windows when it s time to sell.* ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY Did you know that Gentek vinyl replacement windows are eco-friendly in several ways? Each window is precision-engineered to deliver superior energy efficiency and help reduce the consumption of fossil fuels for heating and cooling. And because they never need to be painted, they also lessen the amount of paint, stain and other maintenance-related products from entering the waste stream or polluting the air with potentially harmful organic gasses. As a recyclable material, all in-plant scrap vinyl is reused for other products (such as fencing and decking) to help reduce the volume and environmental impact of waste. Vinyl windows also boast a long service life and typically weigh less than other substrate window products, requiring less energy consumption during transportation.** GET THE BARRIERXP ADVANTAGE! Upgrade your windows with the BarrierXP insulating glass package to maximize thermal efficiency and energy savings, while minimizing the damaging UV rays that cause carpets and furnishings to fade. BarrierXP combines multilayer low-emissivity (Low-E) glass and argon gas, along with the PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System, to achieve the ENERGY STAR rating for energy savings. In summer, BarrierXP reduces solar heat gain by almost 48% to help reduce air-conditioning costs. In winter, BarrierXP increases R-value (resistance to heat flow) by more than 100%.
